In essence, yes. However the mobile port had features, specifically the lighting, that more resembled the original. Those lighting features were absent in the PC/Console versions until this update.

It's literally in the article what was updated

In contrast, the mobile versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, released in December last year, met with critical acclaim. Players praised the ports for fixing several issues found on the console and PC versions, including lighting, shadows, reflections, and draw distance. A Rockstar Games blog post published at the time mentioned that these ports include a new classic lighting mode "that restores the look and feel of the sky in the original games."

Now, finally, this classic lighting option is in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition on PC and console. Early reports indicate sweeping visual improvements across the board that are already going down well with fans.

I got tired of waiting and played WWHD on a Steam Deck, ran flawlessly from start to end!

So I'm still using Windows on my desktop, but from my experience with Proton on Steam Deck, Proton works pretty flawlessly essentially translating the windows exe. I'm assuming it's the same for a Linux desktop setup but I'll let others who actually have experience here comment further. The only thing that you may have issues with are competitive online games, but those aren't really my jam but understandable if they are for you.

They're only biodegradable when exposed to the sun.

FF7 Rebirth. I'm sort of struggling to push through. I just got to chapter 10, figure if I'm this far to just mainline the story to completion. I fully completed the first two open world areas but have been ignoring most of the others after that. The open world traversal seems bolted on to the hallway simulator that Remake was. That and the quests in the open world don't feel substantial or consequential. Find this Spring, fight this legendary enemy, rinse and repeat. The campiness of the story is also getting to me.

For full disclosure, I didn't play the original on PSX but was always intrigued by the art style and aesthetic back when it released. Alas, I only had a N64 at the time and never played it in the later years through emulation. I'm not sure if the original has the same level of camp, but would like to hear if that's only in these games or in the series overall. The feeling I got from various advertisements was the game was more mature in tone than I've experienced so far.

I did finish Remake earlier this year, after initially trying it when it launched in 2020. The campiness of it turned me off a few years back but I really wanted to understand the hype.

I guess the only thing I'm getting out of it at the moment are the visuals. It's gorgeous, but I don't think I'm appreciating the story/lore like all the fans are.

The GameCube and PC version have the option to not use tank controls.

For sure! I once dual booted Windows on a Steam Deck just so I could get access to PC Gamepass and it was a miserable experience. The two top annoyances in Windows were:

  • Having to install a 3rd party apps to get the controls to be recognized.

  • The APU drivers weren't being maintained for new releases (maybe that's AMD/Valve's fault), so I couldn't boot a new release (at the time) like Cocoon.

Passthrough doesn't work well on a bike when there's wind rushing past the microphones that record the passthrough sound. This product fixes that.

My wife (a millennial) does this all the time at home. Part of me thinks it's her way of getting me to leave the living room so she can fart.
